As I recall, Fritz won the game due to Deep Blue castling into an attack. I vaguely recall that it was a poor book line that caused the whole thing. I would not put much faith in that one result. My guess is that given a large number of games, that Deep Blue would beat Fritz 3 (or any other version for that matter) by such a lopsided margin it would be hard to tally. Roy
